There’s a reason these apps have made it to the top of my list again even after we’ve all known about them for a while. Some are refreshed and new. And with that spanking new feeling comes smarter money-saving apps for your financial well-being.
Saving money is easy with some of my favorite ways to use these common apps. Thank goodness for progress and app developers that stick with something good and make it even better.
GASBUDDY
As gas prices rise during summer demand, GasBuddy app is still there pointing the way to cheapest fuel prices for all grades of gas and diesel. You get the best results in bigger cities where the app says you could save as much as $340 a year by following where and when to buy gas. One of my favorite features is the price hike alert which warns you to fill-up before prices are predicted to increase. GasBuddy iOS | Android

OFFICE LENS
Say buh-bye to all-in-one printer/scanners. Office Lens app turns your smartphone into a flatbed scanner. Put Office Lens to work by snapping a pic of document, receipt and business cards. The best part is that it converts what it scans into digital information that you want like text, data or a PDF. It can even decipher handwritten notes using optical character recognition technology. Once Office Lens scans it, you can move into popular apps like Word, Powerpoint and OneNote. Office Lens iOS | Android
